I get that you’re really angry, I mean, he was a popular lion and yes, his cute widdle cubs will probably die to, but I can’t help feeling you’ve kind of missed the point a bit, and well, ending all hunting in Africa will not solve much and maybe make things worse and… No, no, I’m not a hunter. I’m sorry.

In the past I have attributed some of this conflict to differences between the conservation mindset and that of animal rights/animal welfare. And therein my quarrel with those that oppose game hunting in Africa. The conservation value of hunting in Africa is a reality. Should is not the solution.

Hunters go to Africa to shoot lions, and this is without question a good thing; for birds, for ecosystems, and for lions in general! The interests of those working for conservation and those working for animal rights and animal welfare don’t always perfectly align like you might think they do.
